Veni, Veni, Emmanuel Songtext

von Libera

Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel

Veni, veni Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel
Qui gemit in exsilio
Privatus Dei Filio

Gaude, gaude, Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.

Veni, O Sapientia
Quae hic disponis omnia
Veni, viam prudentiae
Ut doceas et gloriae

O come, O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel

English Translation of Latin Lyrics:

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel

Come, O Come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile
Son of God

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
He was born for you, Israel.

O come, Thou Wisdom
Who orders all things
I have come to the path of knowledge
Instruction and glory
